Common questions

The kit suits the H200 HiAce — the cab-over shape where you sit right up the front over a flat snub nose, with no real bonnet. (The newer model, the H300, has a stubby bonnet out front and the driver sitting behind the engine.) If you’re not sure, your build plate — under the bonnet or in the driver’s door jamb — and your rego papers both list the model. Or send us a photo of your van and we’ll confirm it. Easiest of all: open the configurator and match your van to the pictures. If it’s there, we’ve got you.

Select your van in the configurator and it’ll show you the kit that suits it. If you’ve got questions about your specific van, put them through with your order and we’ll clarify everything before anything is cut.

1990–2026. Just select your model in the configurator — and if your model isn’t shown, send us a message.

Not really — they’re all the same bones. On some vans the fit can be a little tight around the factory plastics and trims, so you may need to do a bit of fitting on those models. If you hit any issues, let us know.

There’s generous clearance built into these kits, so in most cases it’s fine. I can’t say for certain without measuring your van — if you’re unsure, get in touch and we’ll take a look.

Only subtle differences between them. We’d suggest going with the correct model for your van.

We can — and have. If you’d like a kit for another van, send us a message about a custom build.

F17 Hexa Ply — a 17mm structural ply, rated the same as the formply used for concrete formwork. It’s the best material we’ve found for the job: strong, stable and built to take a beating.

More than. Formply is quite possibly the strongest bed base you’ll ever sleep on — and the way this bed’s designed only adds to it.

The ply is highly water-resistant. Getting wet a few times is no problem — but, like any timber structure, constant moisture is something to avoid. Keep it dry and it’ll last.

Have a look in the configurator — it updates the weight as you build your kit, so you’ll see the exact figure for your setup.

I can’t notice any smell — it’s rated E0, the lowest formaldehyde-emission rating there is.

The edges come sanded. Chipping or splintering is always possible with timber, but we take steps in the cut and finish to keep it to a minimum.

Assembled correctly, it won’t squeak. The drawer slides make a little sound — that’s just a moving mechanism doing its job.

A wipe-down with a damp cloth is all it needs.

If you’re handy, it’s a straightforward build. If you’re not handy at all, we’d suggest enlisting some help — and we’ve got a local guy who can assemble and install it for you.

Around 2–4 hours, depending on your method.

A drill, an impact driver, a hammer and a screwdriver.

We’d recommend a second pair of hands — it can be awkward to move once it’s built.

We’re not licensed vehicle-modification engineers, so we can’t advise on permanent installation — every state has its own rules on modifying a vehicle. For a temporary fit, the kit ties down to your van’s factory tie-down points using the tie-downs provided on the kit and in the van. For anything permanent, check your state’s regulations and speak to a licensed vehicle-modification engineer.

Yes — all screws, brackets and fixings are included.

Paper instructions are included. And the kit you see in the configurator is the kit you’ll receive — same drawing. Small details may evolve over time, but the configurator drawing is the base.

Yes — if something gets damaged, or you wreck a part, we can supply replacements.

For a temporary fit it ties down to your factory tie-down points with the hardware provided, so it comes back out. For a permanent install, check your state’s rules and talk to a licensed vehicle-modification engineer.

Two bed lengths: Double at 1880mm and Queen at 2030mm. We standardise where we can.

Length only.

The bed platform sits 390mm off the floor. Whether you can sit up comes down to your van’s roof height and how you sit — the best test is to sit in your own van at that height before you buy.

As much as you build into it. The configurator lets you add and see every storage module, so you get exactly what you configure.

A standard-length mattress will fit, though it’ll need to be fitted to your van. We don’t sell mattresses yet.

That comes down to how you live and travel, so it’s really your call — the build gives you a full-width bed and as much storage as you choose to add.

Yes — there’s a drawer fridge module available.

Not yet — that’s coming soon.

Not yet — that’s coming soon.

We’d recommend using the kit as intended — modifying it will void the warranty.

The kit adds its own weight, which the configurator shows as you build. Add that to your van’s kerb weight and check it against your GVM — you’ll need to run those numbers for your own vehicle.

That depends on your state’s rules and regulations — check your local regulations and speak to a licensed vehicle-modification engineer.

Best to speak to your insurer about that.

For anything to do with how it’s installed and crash safety, speak to a licensed vehicle-modification engineer about your installation.

Pop your postcode into the order form — there’s a freight calculator that gives you an exact delivery price, anywhere in Australia.

Depending on stock levels, around 2–4 weeks.

Yes.

Take photos immediately and send them to us. All freight is insured to the full value of the items shipped, so we’ll sort it out.

Yes — you’re welcome to collect from us in Burleigh Heads by appointment, free of charge.

You’re not just paying for materials — you’re paying for the years of design, testing and refinement behind a kit that fits properly, packs flat and goes together right the first time. That product library is the value.

None. Everything’s upfront.

Bank transfer, PayID, cash, or crypto (USDC). USDC is a digital US dollar — if crypto’s not your thing, bank transfer or PayID is easy.

No finance or payment plans, sorry.

Our pricing’s fair and upfront, so we don’t haggle or price-match. No trade program yet — but watch this space.

12-month warranty. No change-of-mind returns. If something doesn’t fit, send us photos of everything and we’ll sort out replacement parts.

A real business — just a small one. A one-man band, building every kit myself. You’re welcome to book a factory visit in Burleigh Heads and see a kit in person.
